I tried that, but it wasn't at all easy to figure out. Besides, I got
ticked off at some of the rather unfair news articles that Netscrape had
on their news/content sites so I rather not use their stuff if I can
help it. I mean, Mozilla has Netscrapes logos in the bottom left for
stuff, so I assumed it's Netscrape that comes out with it/develops it?
Or is Mozilla handled by another group? If so, I *might* give it another
try.

I'll have to check that out and see.

I'm just curious... I don't know if I'll have a mail list or not. I had
hosting before and had a PHP forum online but nobody ever posted to it.
I revised a tagboard in Perl and very few would use it. :/ But if things
pick up some day, maybe I might be looking into mail lists. :)

Thanks for all the useful info. I'm going to check into some of these
things...
